With 42 successful kicks in a row, Morgan Parra sets a new Top 14 record

Morgan Parra in the annals of the Top 14! During the match against Lyon this Sunday in Lyon, the scrum half from Clermont set a new Top 14 record by scoring 42 consecutive kicks. Against the Rhone, the former international number 9 (32 years old) spent a transformation and four penalties, before giving up his place in the 49th minute.

His last failure dated back to April 11, during the quarter-final of the Champions Cup lost by the Jaunards against Stade Toulousain (12-21). Since then, he had not known a failure in the last eight games of his team.

When referring to this series, Morgan Parra said last June: “Success is important, what is even more important in decisive matches is to validate the work of his teammates. It is my role and my responsibility. I am not interested in these statistics, what matters to me is to go as far as possible.»

Morgan Parra erases from the shelves his former teammate at ASM, the Franco-Australian opener Brock James, who had scored 41 consecutive kicks in the league during the 2008-2009. Since the start of his career at Bourgoin-Jallieu in 2006-2007, the international number 9 has scored 2,238 points (1,587 in Top 14, 545 in the Champions Cup and 106 in the Challenge Cup). We must also add 370 points in 71 selections with the XV of France from 2008.
